"What do you all think?"
After the old woman spoke, Rica looked around and softly said, "Is there any objection to preparing the full force for war?"
Everyone looked at each other, and eventually, they all agreed.
"Prepare for war! We are also part of the Great Wilderness!"
"We must not be outdone by other city halls!"
"War, war, war!"
"Seconded."
"Seconded."
"Seconded."
...
Everyone voiced their opinions, expressing their willingness to join the war.
Rica nodded slightly, then continued to speak:
"Fear, anger, disappointment, indifference..."
"These are the emotions that intelligent beings should have. I also understand your worries and fears."
"But..."
Rica lightly sighed, "You all know this war cannot be decided by the Great Wilderness or the Abyss alone; what Lin Ke is doing is the optimal solution."
Though everyone was unsure of their inner thoughts, they nodded in understanding.
